The Cradle List

Have you heard of a Cradle List before? I've always had ideas of things I wanted to do before becoming a mother, but then on one of my absolute favorite shows HIMYM dubbed it the "Cradle List", the bucket list of things we (okay, mostly I) want to do before we have a baby :) Also, if you don't watch HIMYM, go start. Now.

*Side note: checking this list will help to keep Baby Fever in check, and also help prepare for things to do while TTC and things don't magically happen.

  • Pay off our credit cards
  • Start looking for a home
  • Save 3-6 months worth of expenses
  • Research TTC, pregnancy, labor, and delivery
  • Get a check up to make sure I'm in good enough health and systems are all a green light
  • Maintain regular exercise
  • Lose (at least "relationship") weight
  • Begin taking a prenatal vitamin/ folic acid
  • Get any dental work done
  • Go to Disney World for the 1st time!
  • Visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
  • Go to Six Flags
  • Go on an upside down rollercoaster
  • Dream trip to Europe (sigh)
  • Las Vegas- that whole what happens in Vegas thing probably isn't as great with a stroller
  • Go skydiving (real or indoor)
  • Pay off Bryan's car
  • Have a more stable position at a school
  • Save up my sick time
  • Research master's programs
  • King size bed (if space will allow)
  • Strengthen our marriage
  • Go on a cruise
  • Eat at a fancy restaurant
  • Skinny dipping
  • Hot air ballooning
  • Doing things where it's not the place to be doing those things if you know what I mean
  • Get another tattoo
  • Go to a casino
